Christopher Strong RKO
Katharine Hepburn's second picture presents her as a dashing aviatrix with midVictorian romantic ideas. The long lanky glamor-gal goes love-lorn, scaling the skies in lonely grandeur and finally ending-it-all in far from modern fashion. You'll like the fascinating Hepburn, and the very English Colin Clive, and charming Billie Burke. But give Hepburn a better story, pronto.
Sailor's Luck Fox
Sally Eilers and Jimmy Dunn disport themselves agreeably in this slightly silly picture of the sailor's-sweetheart school. Their love triumphs over many mishaps, quarrels, and mutual socks in the jaw. None of it makes much sense, but it's nice and noisy and everybody has a lot of fairly clean fun. Sally looks nicer — and slimmer — than you've seen her in some time.

The Crime of the Century Paramount
Here's a new idea in murder mystery films — and it makes for absorbing entertainment. A reputable doctor who feels the urge to hypnotize and rob a patient confesses to the police, asking to be restrained. Then the patient is murdered, and — guess who! Jean Hersholt is superb as the doctor, Stu Erwin makes a believable reportersleuth, Frances Dee a pleasant ingenue.

Fast Workers M-G-M
A hard-boiled tale of love among the riveters, with John Gilbert and Robert Armstrong as friendly enemies in pursuit of Mae Clarke. Mae, however, cries, "Riveter, stay away from my door!" After Jack is hurt in a fall, she finally relents and finds true love. Gilbert, in his last contract appearance for Metro, does well with an uncongenial role. Mae performs capably.
Strictly Personal Paramount
Here you are — you lookers for "different" story ideas! This concerns a couple of "on the up and up" ex -convicts who run a "Lonely Hearts" club. All goes well until a former cell -mate makes himself a partner and turns the club into a chiseling racket. Marjorie Rambeau gives an ace performance, with Edward Ellis second. Romance
by Dorothy Jordan and Eddie Quillan.
Hell to Heaven Paramount
Take a little of "Grand Hotel" and mix it with "Union Depot" and you'll arrive at the race track where this film unreels. Jack Oakie, who plays a radio announcer with crooning ambitions, upholds the comedy end of the film. This picture is lighter in treatment than its successors in that the villain dies; and two romances end happily. With Sidney Blackmer, Carole Lombard.
Love in Morocco Gaumont -British
You won't want to miss this Rex Ingram film, made in Europe. And you won't be disappointed in the scenic effects, exciting native battles, and Rex himself as the hero. But you will be amazed at Ingram for selecting such a poor story and cast. Rex plays a rakish Fi ach ffi ho falls in love with a Moroccan princess and — but see for yourself! Rosita Garcia is the femme interest.
